I want to compare two folders and all I have is directory path of two folders. How to use Beyond Compare 4 CLI commands to compare them without actually opening the window. I have been using the below command but it opens up the window every time.


TextWrangler does not support merging. If you have installed TextWrangler from the AppStore, the command line tools are not included by default. However, they are essential for use with Git and Tower. Please download the command line tools from the BareBones software website.

When given the choice, I generally prefer a command line option over a GUI. While everyone around me is using Sourcetree, git extensions in VS, or any number of other git plugins or GUIs that do everything for them, I'm actually learning how it all works by doing it manually at the command line. At work, I'm stuck on Windows so I use git-bash...... Full Entry


Compares an open file to one that you select with Browse. You must have specified an external compare tool with the Compare setting in Options > Environment > General. To work correctly, the compare tool must be able to accept command line parameters as tool.exe file1 file2. Tested compare tools are Microsoft Windiff and Perforce p4Diff.exe.


I'm a fan of beyond compare but it is not always available on some of the sites I log in to. I'm not a fan of RCMP. I've got a Diff program that works in a terminal session that I use when I log on to a Cache version 5 site. Feel free to take this and do what you want with it (.MAC routines can be found on ^rMAC):


Okay - I'll try that. Next question (well, a follow-on). If I call Excel from a DOS command line, with the name of my workbook ast the first parm and my filesnames passed as /e/... parms, how do I ensure that the open workbook event breaks to let me debug the code ?


That was my whole point to Dave - that I never see the message until I'm back in Excel's bowels. This was made me wonder whether the code I referred to in the first append (I'm guessing here) allocated some memory that should have been freed. Maybe Excel is still (?) trying to read/process the command line (or what it thinks is there). Like I say, just guessing.


In Git, diffing is a function that compares two input data sets and outputs their differences. The git diff command has multiple uses, as it can run a diff function on different Git data sources, such as commits, branches, files, etc.


Overall, the output indicates that new files (README.md, file1.md, and newfile) were added in the new-branch compared to the master branch. The output includes the lines with details regarding these additions, including file modes, index information, and the added content.


Displaying changes for every line can clutter the output and make it difficult to see general changes. If you want only to see where the changes occurred, use the --name-only option with the git diff command.






Another way to compare Git branches without using the git diff command is to perform a git merge, see the changes, and then revert the process. The command requires the --no-ff and --no-commit options to ensure the command doesn't change or update the current branch.
